See My Home

I've seen the morning waking up
A silent stirring breaking up
The face of the night
There's fire in the eastern sky
Stars are fading fast
And I'm embraced by the light

I've seen miniscule thunderheads
These tiny billows overhead
In infancy stage
And later on when they mature
They'll share their beauty with the earth
In a sudden rage

Makes me wish that I could reach out
And hold the things I see
Get beyond this soil and embrace eternity
I know that when I do
I'll have the eyes to see my home

I've seen majestic mountain scenes
All littered with the roads and things
We've built on them
It's an ugly sort of irony
That my experience relies on these
But then again

Makes me wish that I could be here
A few hundred years ago
To stand before their presence
In a pristine sort of show
I'm trying to break free
From tethers of this earth
To see behind the shadow
Of a masquerading curse
I know that when I do
I'll have the eyes to see my home

See my home

I've seen the canvas of the night
The flicker of a million lights
In candid array
The moon is tugging at my soul
Like tides upon the oceans pulled
Making my faith

Makes me wish that I could lift off
And pass the galaxies
To take in all the wisdom
That the night bequeathes to me
I'm trying to break free
From the shackles of this house
To cut loose from the gravity
That strives to keep me down
I know that when I do
I'll have the eyes to see my home

Yes, I know that when I do
I'll have the eyes to see my home

See my home
You know I'm gonna see my home

I know I'm gonna see my home
I know I'll see my home
